I've used zippers to edit parse trees. Very useful API, if a little user unfriendly.

Having moved into a home previously owned by a chain smoker ten years prior, I have no problem believing this. We've had to run ozonators in rooms repeatedly to finally get the sme…

Vernor Vinge had it figured out in A Deepness in the Sky with the use of kiloseconds, megaseconds, and gigaseconds.

It's certainly been a massive financial hit to the greater Baltimore area, so that sounds appropriate. Insurance companies need to account for large shocks -- it's the whole reason…

Who can forget Jelly? https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-jelly/

In what way have the TensorFlow or Cassandra teams adopted Clojure? They both have third-party Clojure clients, but neither appears to be using Clojure for their project's implemen…

Any good resources on how to use flakes? I'm currently experimenting with having home-manager work via a flake but I haven't come across any good HOWTOs on common operations. For e…

An unaccountably high level of carbon in the atmosphere could be such an indicator.

Has Stadia died already?

Ironic you mention the Switch given that, within that plastic cradle, it's still a USB-C dock.

When did hackathons become about "winning"? I thought it was a chance to test out new solutions that your day-to-day job wouldn't necessarily give you the opportunity to explore.

"git reflog" has also been a blessing in getting out of scrapes.

The network of rest stops varies. In Washington State, they recently closed a line of them along the I-5 due to vandalism and a lack of employees to maintain them.
